Epoxy Floor & Concrete Coating Contractors in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Baton Rouge is Louisiana’s capital, and its 34-story State Capitol, the tallest in the nation, rises above the Mississippi River downtown. LSU’s campus and Tiger Stadium dominate the south side, the Old State Capitol’s Gothic towers and the USS Kidd museum ship sit along the riverfront, and the University Lakes and BREC parks such as Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center offer green space. Neighborhoods like Mid City, the Garden District and Southdowns mix older homes with newer subdivisions spreading toward Prairieville and Zachary.

Heat, Rain and Moisture Under the Slab

Baton Rouge summers are long, hot and humid, and heavy rain can fall at any time of year. Most homes are built slab-on-grade, and moisture vapor pushing up through those slabs is the leading cause of failed coatings in the area. The 2016 floods showed how quickly water can rise in garages and ground-floor rooms. Good contractors test moisture, grind the surface and use vapor-mitigating primers before building a coating system. Outdoors, strong sun calls for UV-stable polyaspartic topcoats that won’t yellow, and slip-resistant textures help on wet patios.

What Baton Rouge homeowners and businesses coat most often:

• Garages used as workshops, game-day hangouts and storage, finished with flake and polyaspartic
• Covered patios, outdoor kitchens and pool decks needing cool, slip-resistant surfaces
• Petrochemical, plant and warehouse floors requiring chemical-resistant epoxy or urethane
• Restaurants and bars near LSU and downtown
